Thrifty One Market Returns: Time to Clean Out and Cash In - 7 June

The much-loved Thrifty One Market is making a comeback, inviting locals to give their wardrobes a spring clean and maybe earn a bit of cash in the process. This preloved clothing market isn't your average secondhand sale, it’s all about good brands, good condition, and good sense.

Market Day Details

Here’s what you need to know. The market is happening on Saturday, 7 June 2025, from 09:00 to 13:00 at 6 Meyer Street, Die Bult, Potchefstroom.

You can find the event on Facebook here, or reach out via email at marici.verster@gmail.com, or better yet, WhatsApp 082 382 4360, which seems to be the preferred communication method.

What’s It All About?

Thrifty One isn’t just about selling any old jumble of clothes. The focus is on upmarket labels, good quality, and excellent condition. Think curated chaos, but with taste.

It’s not a dumping ground for every pair of old tracksuit pants you’ve got lying around. If it's stretched out, faded, pilled, or just plain sad, leave it at home.

Clear Your Closet (But Not Like That)

For those looking to sell, there are some rules, because standards matter. First off, no underwear, swimwear or sleepwear. And yes, they do check.

Clothing must be:

• Washed and ironed

• As good as new (no dodgy stains or dodgy smells)

• Free of pilling, stretch marks, and fading

This isn’t a spring-cleaning free-for-all. It’s more of a “quality over quantity” vibe.

What Sells and What Doesn't

There’s a strong preference for higher-end high-street brands. So if you’ve got items from Zara, Mango, Poetry, Old Khaki, Woolworths, Foschini, or Edgars that no longer spark joy, now’s your time.

On the other hand, if your wardrobe is full of Shein, Mr Price or PnP specials, this market probably isn’t your stage. The organisers say it’s not personal, it’s just what buyers are after. People want the brands they can’t always afford brand new, and this market caters for that.

Selling Made Easy

Selling is pretty straightforward. Clean out your wardrobe, prep your clothing according to the rules, and when you’re ready, WhatsApp the organiser. No lengthy applications or stall fees. Just you, your fashion taste, and a small pile of sorted-out regrets from shopping sprees past.

This market is about community, circular fashion, and giving good clothes a second life. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just curious, pull in, have a browse, and maybe walk away with something that feels new (without costing new).

No sales pitch, no frills, just lekker clothes, decent prices, and people who love a good find.
